Not happy with one watercolour during my lunch break I attempted three. Each was painted on different paper. I wanted to see how the pigment reacted on each. Arches rough, Fabriano fine grain and Fabriano satin. I enjoy working at speed but this was pushing it a bit! 😉

I spent a lovely Sunday afternoon with the Stockholm Urbansketchers. There were many new faces which was great. I had planed to do some watercolour sketches but I found it hard to relax and so focused on doing small pencil drawings instead. So interesting this art thing, it’s such a mind game!

Welcome!

My name is David Meldrum, I live in Stockholm, Sweden. I have just given up my day job and became a full-time artist.

It was February 2012 when I painted my first watercolour and found it fascinating. The year before that I had started drawing again 30 years after leaving art college back in 1981. I am hopelessly addicted to art now and spend everyday trying to improve my skills. I am very curious to know how good I can become and what I can achieve.
